Produktbeschreibung
Parochial and plain sermons Vol. VIII is a contemplative and morally urgent collection of religious addresses that continues Newman s lifelong dedication to guiding Christian souls through the complexities of faith and life. It draws deeply from scriptural truths and personal introspection, offering insights into sin, repentance, grace, mortality, and divine accountability. Newman urges readers to consider how fleeting human life is and how easily it slips away when absorbed in worldly distractions. He emphasizes the necessity of preparing one s soul with vigilance, as death brings finality and judgment. Across the volume, Newman cautions against spiritual complacency and challenges readers to examine their habits, desires, and loyalties. He exposes the tension between temporal success and eternal truth, advocating for a life anchored in humility, prayer, and moral clarity. With pastoral care and theological precision, Newman presents each sermon as both warning and encouragement, aiming to awaken the conscience and draw believers toward a deeper alignment with divine will.
Autorenporträt
John Henry Newman was an influential theologian, philosopher, historian, and writer whose work shaped both Anglican and Catholic thought in the 19th century. Born on February 21, 1801, in London to Jemina Fourdrinier and John Newman, he showed early intellectual promise and later studied at Trinity College, Oxford. He initially served as an Anglican priest, where his academic and spiritual contributions made him a central figure in the Oxford Movement, which aimed to return the Church of England to its Catholic roots. Over time, his theological inquiries and personal convictions led him to convert to Catholicism in 1845, a decision that marked a turning point in his life and drew considerable attention. Newman became a Catholic priest and was eventually elevated to cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. His most notable works include Apologia Pro Vita Sua and The Idea of a University, through which he articulated his vision of faith, reason, and education. A gifted writer and poet, he continued his scholarly and pastoral work until his death on August 11, 1890, in Edgbaston, Birmingham. He left behind a legacy of spiritual depth and intellectual rigor that continues to resonate in religious and academic circles.
